We started off Friday, June 5th with the last day of school. They had a normal early out day. Steven went to work for the morning to finish up some projects while I did the final packing and cleaning. He came home at 12:30 or so and then at 1:15 we went over to school to take pictures of Christie and Jordan with friends and teachers and to deliver the year-end thank you notes.

After picking up Christie and Jordan from school, we went to Applebee's for an "end of the school year" celebration lunch. Then we came home to pick up their stuff then took the children over to my best friend Diane's home. She and her husband had the three children stay with them from Friday afternoon through Monday morning.
We then ran back home to get our stuff and headed over to the airport. We were a little behind schedule but fortunately getting through security didn't take too long and we had about 45 minutes to spare.
We flew on Delta to Seattle.
All except two couples had arrived that day (June 5th) so Steven's father had arranged for us to stay at a motel a few miles from the airport. We were supposed to call for the motel shuttle to come pick us up. Only problem was that we were flying alone so there was no one to make the call for us. I'm not sure how Steven's father thought we were going to handle that but then again, since a very young age, Steven's been expected to figure things out for himself so in a way, it's par for the course. LOL. Fortunately, a fellow traveler made the call for us and after about a 30 minute wait, the shuttle came. The funniest thing about the whole episode is that Steven's older sister Pam and her husband got on the shuttle at the same time! They had been waiting at the opposite end of the shuttle pick up area. We got to the motel, said HI to everyone, took a short walk over to a nearby 7-11 to get some food and then crashed.
End of Day 1.
